You lay on your belly, knees curled under you as Dabi hovers behind you, a slow smile spreading over his lips. His tongue slipped out to lick the tip of the glass butt plug that he’d been dying to try out on that tight little hole of yours. Your boyfriend wanted for months for you to finally agree to let him fuck your ass, but first he had to work open the puckered opening.

A soft whine left your throat when he dug his fingers into the material of your black stockings and ripped them loudly with his teeth and bare hands. “Dabi...” You whispered softly, earning yourself a light smack from the flat of his palm. You wriggled around from the cool air blowing over your exposed pussy as he spread your ass cheeks.

Dabi’s smile spread even further as he traced his finger along the wet, shiny slit of your cunt, not spreading, but parting them just enough to coat the tips in your arousal. “Such a dirty girl, you are, doll.” He cooed condescending, his soft, careful touches betraying his rough words. He circles your tiny little asshole with his pinky, watching as it quivered under his touch. “Been waiting for too long to fuck this perfect ass of yours. Gonna take my time to get you nice and ready for my dick.”

You felt your hole flutter around nothing as Dabi spoke those filthy words to you. Slick pooled and dripped down your thighs in anticipation for his touch. A soft whine rose in your throat when your boyfriend gathered more of your slick onto the tips of his fingers and used it to lube up your tight asshole. Flinching slightly when the cool tip of the plug touches your heated flesh, you let out a gasp when Dabi slowly starts to push it past those tight rings of muscles.

Dabi worked the glass toy into your ass as his dipped a finger into your soaked cunt. He worked both holes open, moving the slick that drips from your pussy to smear it around the thick middle of the toy. His thumb rests on your clit, circling it as he cooed condescendingly down at you. "Such a good fucking girl for me. Taking it up the ass so well. Soon it'll be my cock stretching your tight little hole." He smirked as he felt your juices run down his finger as his words made your walls clench down on it. 

Your boyfriend pushes the cool glass of toy inside until the blue gem adorning the top of it peaks from between your ass cheeks. Dabi smirked when you whined about how full you felt as tears of pleasure slowly leaked from your eyes. He then pressed his fingers in deep, all the way to the knuckle as he set a steady pace. His other hand taps on the gemstone to apply pressure to the toy as he fucked you on his fingers. "Fuck...you're so fucking tight. I wish you could see the way your pussy is greedily sucking down my fingers."

You let out a whine that almost sounded pathetic as Dabi fucked you on his fingers and applied pressure to the plug in your ass. You felt so full but you still needed more. “T-Touya...” You whine out his real name, your sign that you wanted more from him. More of his touch, more of his fingers, more of his cock. You let out a gasp when his teeth bit down on the junction of your neck and shoulder, digging into the flesh until it was swollen and bruised. 

“Did I say you could speak?” He licks the dark mark he let behind while increasing the speed of his fingers, your juices squirting out on his palm. Dabi smirks at the whine you give as his licks his lips at the site of our pretty little ass clenching around the plug as he fucks you on his fingers. His cock throbbed aching to be inside one of your holes. “Gotta cum for me doll. Then I’ll fuck you nice and deep in whichever hold I choose.”

A shriek leaves you when your man slowly begins to pull the butt plug out, stretching that ring of muscles out again. “Touya!” You whined when the thick middle of the toy burns a little bit as it sent stress of pleasure throughout your body. “Please!”

Dabi smirked as he pulled the toy free, his thumb going to replace it as he fucks both holes with his hand. “Please, what, baby doll?” He licked his teeth before grazing them over the bite mark he’d left behind.

“Need you...” You whimper out.

“Need me to what?” He growled, slowing down his fingers and making you whine at the loss of friction. “Say it.”

You bucked your hips back, trying to make him slide his fingers back in deeper, squeaking when he bit down on your neck again, marking it up in repremendation. “Need you to fuck me, Touya! Need you to fuck my pussy, my ass, just fuck me!” The gasp you let when he suddenly manhandles you off his lap rang in your ears as he ripped your little skirt off, tearing your tights even more with his hands. 

Dabi’s heavy hand smacks your ass, watching the way the flesh jiggles under his touch. He pulls his cock out of his sweats and rubs the tip against your puckered hole. “Been waiting to hear you say those words.” Slowly, Dabi sank the thick tip of his cock past the first ring of muscles. His head fell forward as his knees threatened to buckle under the tight wet heat of your tight little hole. He nearly came from just the tip going inside. “Fuck, you’re so tight.”

Your back arched as you let out an obscenely lewd sounding moan. You never knew that having your ass stuffed would feel so good. The pure ecstasy you would feel as your boyfriend slowly filled your tight clenching hole with his dick. Your cunt fluttered around nothing as he sank in deeper and your teeth worried your bottom lips to muffle your screams. Rocking your hips back, you help Dabi bottom out inside your ass. “Oh god, Touya...feel so full.”

A tight lipped smirk spread over Dabi’s face as he held onto your hips, rocking into slowly to help you get used to the full feeling of having his cock so deep into your tightest little hole. His dipped one hand a little slowly to play with your clit as he began to thrust faster into you. “Take it. Take my cock, baby.” Dabi knew that he would last long in your ass with how tight it was, but he was determined to make you cum first.

Moans of pain and pleasure left your throat as Dabi fucked your asshole with vigorous thrust as his fingers danced on your clit. The stimulation was too much and you clawed at the bedm trying to crawl away from the feeling, but Dabi bit down on your neck again while pulling you back against his cock and thrusting even deeper and harder, his pelvis slapping against the plush cheeks of your ass. “It's too much, Touya!” You screamed, tears burning at your eyes as your cunt clenched and unclenched around nothing, clit twitching under his skilled fingers.

Dabi licks the bite marks he’d left behind on your flesh as he thrust into your tight hole, grunting at the feeling. “You wanted this, remember? You begged me to fuck the cute little ass of yours.” He placed his forehead between your shoulder blades as his tongue lapped the drops of sweat that coat your spine. “And now you’re saying it too much?” He laughed. “Take this dick and cum for me.”

He placed his hand on your lower back to make you arch even more for him as he snaps his hip even faster, thrusting into your asshole. You let out another loud keen as your pussy clenched around emptiness as his fingers never stopped or slowed their dance on your clit.

Dabi was going to drag a toe curling orgasm out of you if it was the last thing he did. Slick pooled and bubbled at your sticky hole as your boyfriend continued to enter and exit your twitching ass.

“Oh my, fuck!” you let out a hoarse cry as you began to cum hard, clear juices squirting out and rolling down your thighs. You clenched down tightly on your boyfriend's cock as your ass tightened due to the intensity of your high. 

Dabi growled low in his chest as your hole tightened like a vise around hi dick, nearly choking it as he slapped your cheeks lightly before spreading them and letting a glob of spit fall from his lips and onto your twitching hole. “Gonna cum in this tight little ass. Is that what you want, hmm, doll?” At your nod, Dabi grabs your hips in both hands and slams into you at a fast, deep pace. “Gonna fuck you so good, baby.” He purred.

You could only lay there on your knees as Dabi sought out his own high, fucking into you deeply that you could feel it in your tummy. Your ass felt so full, more full than when he had put the butt plug in to prep you. “Touya, feels so good.” Your words sound slurred as you could feel him panting against your back as he lowered his head once more. Pushing back to meet his heavy thrusts to encourage him to cum, you said, “Want you to cum in my ass, baby. Fill it up with your hot cum.”

His tongue slid back out to lick up your spine before his lips spread into a wide smile. “Fucking naughty doll I’ve got.” His balls tightened as the hot coil in the pit of his belly tightened until it was threatening to snap. “Y’want my cum in this tight hole, princess? Then have it.” His cock twitched as his stick seed spills over into your hole. “Fuck, baby...you did so well...” He gasped out as he continued to gently fuck his cum deeper, some of it drippled out around his cock and making a forthy ring of white around the base. 

“Mmm...” you hummed, feeling thoroughly sated with this new experience. “If I had known it felt this good, I’d let you fuck my ass earlier.”

Dabi rubbed his palms over your round cheeks as he kissed the back of your shoulder. “This mean, I can fuck your ass more often now?”

You giggle as you rocked back gently, feeling his cum drip down your thighs along with yours. “Yes, Touya.”

[kudouusagi]

I think one example of a time he indirectly "confessed" was when Morinaga said the size of their feelings were different, since he seemed upset by that? Not sure

Yes, exactly! That would be one of them.

That's after he stopped being in such deep denial.... since he's even willing to discuss it.

And now I'm going to babble forever... let's see if this makes sense in the end... and this is why it took me so long to respond to this ask lol... that and I accidentally didn't save my draft so I had to rewrite part of it.... and I just got a new puppy that I have to watch constantly....

So, like I said, Japanese is very indirect. In the past they didn't express their love very directly at all. The newer generations tend to be more open about it... but even then it's not like they go around using the word "love" to people often. They usually just use "suki" (like) and "daisuki" (really like) to express their love rather than other words for love.

There is a fairly well known saying in Japan that the phrase "Tsuki ga kirei" (the moon is beautiful) is a good way to say I love you because When Souseki Natsume saw a student translating the English phrase "I love you" into Japanese he said it was too direct and wasn't something a Japanese person would say. (There's no first hand sources that this ever happened and even native speakers will argue about how well known it is.) So while the origin and use might be debated, it's still true about the Japanese culture about saying I love you. Let's keep this in mind going forward.

Also keep in mind the fact that Souichi just lies. A lot.

Before KSB in Challengers he stopped him from leaving by letting him kiss him, etc, but one of the earliest examples of him saying something that could be saying he likes him is in volume 2 when Souichi is complaining about Morinaga saying they have a fuck buddy relationship. He says "Fuck buddies are people who don't like each other but do it because they want to, right? I've never done it with you because I wanted to!!" "I only barely put up with it because it's you!" AKA I do it because like you.

It seemed pretty obvious that Morinaga got it at the time but of course Morinaga needs those words of affirmation and so he kinda forgets over the next few volumes because Souichi is 200 miles deep in denial and that makes Morinaga really insecure about their relationship.

Volume 3 he reiterates that he only has sex with him because it's him and basically admits he's not actually being blackmailed into it.

Volume 4 is the stalker and fire arc and he says that he wants to send Morinaga away from the house because he's important to him. Souichi actually initiates sex but would never admit it. Somehow Morinaga convinced him to move in with him by telling him he would be lonely lol.

Volume 5: Denial. Souichi can't figure out why he feels so good when he has sex with Morinaga. (because you're in love with him you stubborn man)

Volume 6: Denial. He can't figure out why he's fine with living with him. (like I said, because you're in love with him you stubborn man)

Volume 7-8 Souichi lies his biggest lies and he finally realizes that his denial is going to lose him Morinaga so he admits he wants him to stay by his side. Now, telling someone to stay by your side is actually pretty romantic in Japanese. There are a few well known love songs that use it, etc. I found this list of ways to express love in Japanese... and of course it's there.

Though his denial is still pretty bad at this point, he goes through all the motions to prove he's in it. Also, this was the original intended ending of KSB. It is when their relationship officially went into dating. We're supposed to know they're together now... and it seems like a lot of people don't lol.

Volume 9 is the one you mentioned. Morinaga with needing those words of affirmation thinks it's not love an wants him to actually say it and so he tells him he wants him to care more, to feel jealous, etc and when he tells Souichi that Souichi is upset that he thinks he doesn't care. Souichi has learned he needs to communicate more and every time Morinaga starts acting weird he always tries to say things to make him feel better. He's trying lol.

Volume 10 they go to Kyushu together and I'm pretty sure Souichi came along because he assumed Morinaga would visit his family and that's why he asked if he was visiting his family while they were there. But he went out of his way to explain that he wasn't rejecting him or anything he just didn't want him touching him in public. The fact he didn't want to look at Morinaga because he was turned on by him was a pretty big deal.

Volume 11: I'm sorry did Souichi just say stuff about Morinaga's food? He didn't actually say it to Morinaga and definitely didn't mean it in this way but... I mean... telling someone you want to eat their food forever is a well known as an old fashioned marriage proposal lol (https://japanalyze.com/10-popular-japanese-marriage-proposals/) He's just talking about his food but.... that can be kind of a big deal lol.

Vol 12:

I could probably come up with more but this post has gotten long and like I said the puppy is keeping me busy constantly so I'm going to give up on this post and just post it for now!

Fated Rantings: Seiba Part 2

Zero Seiba, all Tragedy

For my second part of my Fate Zero rambling I decided to dedicate it too Saber herself because my first Seiba post was after the 2006 Fate Stay Night and mostly about her.

Am I obsessed? Yes, all jokes aside, I am to a degree because I grew up liking those king arthur legends. I knew very little as a child but I always loved a King Arthur or Robin Hood story.

And for reasons I won't fully reiterate I do find fascination (and humor) in how accurate Fate is to Arthurian legends despite gender bending the central figure himself.

Saber is very tragic due to these things. Lived as a man in an age that won't let women rule, chosen by a sword to be king, wielding another sword (alongside a holy spear and scabbard) that rendered her ageless, and raised on the idealism of the perfect king.

Her life was full of sacrifice and convoluted magic. When someone like Iskander says she was a "little girl who couldn't chase butterflies or fall in love" or when someone says she was a king who could not understand the hearts of men there is some truth to it.

In a lot of ways she was set up for failure from the start albeit not by intent.

Stark Differences

If you've read the first post then you're likely wondering what else I could say. If you haven't, here: Seiba Part One

I do not think you'll need it but if you're the type to see this and immediately try and draw me into "they treat that way cause WOMEN" then read it. It may not be to your standards but I explain my draw to this character well and my respect for her depiction. I also freely admit that I believe people project quickly at the cost of critical thought but that's a separate rant.

What is relevant here is how does Zero hurt or help how Saber is portrayed in Fate Stay Night... which is hard to answer because every fate work is it's own timeline. (including Fate/Zero)

When you watch Fate Zero you're seeing a slightly (or perhaps greatly) alternative take on the 4th Grail War that Saber mentions in Fate Stay Night.

Her own memories of the 4th Grail war aren't complete. Servants aren't supposed to remember things from one summoning to another either.

Even so I think Zero adds to her. It may be differing timelines but the character is the same at their core....I wonder how many I just pissed off by saying that.

While Fate Zero is praised it also has people who dislike her depiction within it. The Saber we see is very staunch about chivalry and honor and so on. To some this makes her seem overly idealistic compared to her other depictions.

It can even seem overly childish compared to her own past and how she used soldiers in warfare. I won't even disagree on that front, this Saber is idealistic.

But I think that is with intent. She was raised by and fell to the flawed idealism of mankind. Plus, I think that was to parallel her master Kiritsugu and his wife Irisviel.

They too were idealistic on what the grail could actually do and servants always have some form of parallel to their summoner. In FSN she parallels Shirou's heroic complex and sacrificial tendencies.

In Fate Zero she parallels Kiritsugu's flawed idealism.

Point A to B

If we're running on the assumption that FSN and Fate Zero had near identical events then I'd also argue that this depiction of her is meant to show how she got to her depiction in FSN.

Zero shows us how others such as Kirei, Gilgamesh, or Kiritsugu got to where they are. It only makes sense that this had similar effects on Saber who remembers some vague aspects of the 4th War.

In Fate Zero she tells her fellow kings that she wishes to save Britain but in FSN she wishes to undo the sword selection itself. In Fate Zero she a bit more laid back compared to her serious to business take in FSN.

Even if she doesn't fully remember that 4th War it scarred her like the others. The idea that she was a bad king and other negative ideals started to internalize somewhat. Now, we all know there's only some truth in those statements but what we know vs what she believes is different.

I am not saying Fate Zero did it well but I am arguing that this may have been the intention. Her acceptance and growth in FSN's Fate Route benefits from it I'd argue.

It's not necessary since FSN can be read/watched as is but I do appreciate the attempt. I do not consider Saber naive but I do think she was made into a king based on naive ideals.

A King that doesn't know mens Hearts

Another line that I've seen some disdain for. I do not fully agree with it either but there is something to be said for the few times there's some truth in the statement.

The show makes Lancelot the pinpoint of that negative thought process but I feel that's where the other fans get offended. Yes, she didn't fully understand her knights or people but that's more to do with her denying herself her own humanity throughout life.

When I see that fight I saw no confusion on Lancelot's part. He fully understood Arthur, his issue was that he couldn't handle that truth. He deserved the punishment that Guinevere was given in his mind.

Arthur was a perfect king for a horribly imperfect people.

No, the moment the show highlights truth in that line is with Kiritsugu. They never got along and after episode 16 I did not think that highly of him either. He did things so dirty in that episode that I had a visibly disgusted reaction, I can only imagine what she felt as he ruined a fight between two true knights.

She could never understand her master and that was the recipe for ruin from the start. She said it herself in the finale how could "she ever understand a man through three command spells"

The Banquet of Kings

I can't end this without mentioning the infamous Banquet of Kings. The start of Saber's spiral into self doubt.

There's a lot of talk about this scene, the good and ills of it, I wrote a lot about it when talking about Iskander in the previous post. That's not a plug like the first link, it's just a scene with that much to discuss.

For Saber specifically, this was a banquet with demeaning outcomes. Her role as a king was discarded quiet harshly albeit for two differing reasons.

For Gilgamesh she is just a fool. To him she becomes an interesting toy to objectify and own, all the negatives that people get from that talk come from him. That is within his character though, I do not say that as an excuse but because there's no other outcome.

For Gilgamesh to even respect Iskandar as a king/conqueror by the end of Zero is more than I actually expected of him. In his mind he IS the king and anyone else is a joke.

Iskandar was a bit more nuanced. He never disrespected Saber for being female nor as a warrior. She does lose his respect as a fellow king but only after he hears her wish. To him, it's an insult to all those that served her to undo their work and sacrifices.

He also, correctly, identifies her as someone raised trapped in ideals that didn't get a chance to be a person. He words it as "a little girl that didn't get to chase butterflies or fall in love" but the thing he finds sad about her is that lack of choice period.

Ultimately, there is one other key factor that the two actually agree on. Although they differ on why a king stands above other men they do at least agree that they do so.

Saber, in contrast, has a less archaic view that kings serve the people. Now is this wrong? That's hard to say since I'm from an age where monarchy is largely dead.

However, I do think Iskandar is right to the extent that kings inspire. They don't always lead or inspire for good reasons but there is a core logic of a leader present.

I also agree that the lack of childhood or basic human wants hurt her reign. You can make all the jokes you want about a 35yr old woman acting childish in FSN or Ataraxia, that makes sense to me and, it's something she needed more of.

If she had more of that core human experience earlier she may have been able to lead Camelot to a less tragic end. If nothing else, perhaps more of the ones that should've understood her would've.

One of the better retroactive connections here is her accepting things in FSN's Fate Route. She no longer desires to undo it all finding value in her and her comrades efforts. Something that only comes from the normalcy she gains from living with Shirou.

Conclusions?

All in all what I mean to say is that I appreciated her depiction in Zero. It's not flawless but I do see some of the things reflected in her original depiction. I see the attempt to explain some of it.

More than anything else, it helps me appreciate more her growth in FSN's story. All she really needed was someone to let her be a person rather than an ideal king or weapon. (like kiritsugu)

I have no deeper meaning, I just wanted to ramble and discuss the banquet scene. Also, no, I did not forget the amazing Iri & Saber dynamic. I just do not know what to say.

It was wholesome, Saber rocks a suit, and never let Iri drive. Goodnight everybody!

Shiro Harem: Holy Grail War... of Love 3/7

As you guys know, the poll ended up being a 3-way tie... Technically. Although, based off the accidental "first" poll where Artoria had more votes tying her with Sakura... I'm gonna be generous and throw the King of Knights in here as an "unofficial" winner. It's the only poll that changed drastically enough, and I feel bad for flubbing up the first time. XD

... So, uh. Yeah. I'll be writing up 4 posts before posting anything. Be sure to cycle through my posts to find your favorite girl(s)... The official winners are Rin, Sakura, and Luvia. I'll be getting to Mitsuzuri, Illya, and Reines later. XD

The Beginning

For myself, I saved the best for last among the official poll winners... (人◕ω◕) Rin-chan is a giant tsundere, but Shiro helps bring the goober out of her, and it's fantastic~... Here's the usual disclaimer.

Fate: Stay Night is all about branching timelines. As such, to cater to all seven members of this harem in a single worldline, we'll be looking at an AU separate from the canon ones, regardless of how similarly events may play out. Just a forewarning.

Because Rin and Sakura are inextricably tied together as sisters, I'll do a brief recap of the Fourth Holy Grail War. Hit the highlights, at least.

The biggest difference is that Kariya strikes an alliance with Kiritsugu early in the war. (人◕ω◕) Maiya encountered him, and knowing that summoning Berserker just to murder a human woman would waste energy that he sorely needs... Kariya essentially prioritizes his ultimate goal: Save Sakura. He offers Berserker's strength if Maiya and whoever she works for would save Sakura. Negotiations are touch-and-go, but Kiritsugu agrees to the alliance as Iri has him empathize with Kariya even a little, considering he has his own daughter that he wants to protect.

And after Kariya shares with Kiritsugu the particulars of Zouken, why he's so hard to kill... They go to the church about the matter, as it's not directly related to the war. And because Zouken has been dabbling in taboos and represents a genuine threat, Risei suspends the war briefly so that Risei, Kirei, and Tokiomi can exterminate Zouken as he attempts to flee the estate with Sakura.

Bottom line is that Zouken is eliminated, and Kariya strikes a new deal with Tokiomi that if Kariya survives the war, then Tokiomi will allow Sakura to live with the Matou's until Kariya passes. Tokiomi agrees to the challenge, believing it will only be a minor hindrance at most to get around to relocating Sakura to a new magus family. Kariya won't have long to live no matter what. (人◕ω◕)

But... Tokiomi miscalculates. Kirei still betrays him late in the war, when there's only four Servants remaining. Saber defeats Iskandar, and Gilgamesh wipes out Lancelot. It still becomes a battle between Kirei and Kiritsugu, and Artoria and Gilgamesh. Artoria is still used to "destroy the Grail", which triggers the Great Fire. Kirei and Gilgamesh are still kept around and tainted by the Grail. The difference is that Kariya survives too, and after leaving Shiro in Kiritsugu's care he returns to take care of Sakura for the next few years.

I dredge all of this history up because ultimately, it improves relations between Sakura, Rin, and their mother Aoi. (人◕ω◕) Kariya isn't framed for Tokiomi's death, and Aoi gets to live. Sure, Sakura is still conflicted and bitter about the trauma she's faced, about being given up... But with Uncle Kariya around for a few more years to take care of her, and to keep Shinji from becoming a complete bastard, Sakura becomes a little less broken.

Rin also treasures "Uncle Kariya", though. Even if Sakura has dibs, so to speak, Rin still treasures what time she gets to spend with Kariya. She's grateful for what he did for Sakura, and was horrified to hear, even vaguely, the sort of monster Zouken was... Rin still endeavors to be the Tohsaka heiress, but she comes to see the "remnants" of the Matou as extended family because of Kariya and Sakura. ... Even if Shinji is a turd, and Rin would rather not deal with him.

While Kariya doesn't bother making advances on Aoi because he respects a grieving mother who lost her husband, they're still good friends. And if her mother got together with anyone else, Rin would have fully backed Uncle Kariya... Unfortunately he wasn't around long enough to make that happen. When he passed, Sakura withdrew into herself, and Rin and Aoi kept trying to reach out to her. Sakura didn't sever ties or anything... She was just wrestling with her conflicting feelings, and still sorting through the trauma she went through under Zouken.

Rin was unaware of Kirei taking on Sakura as a reluctant second student. Mostly because she spent as little time as possible around the man, not liking the rat one little bit. The bottom line is that Rin turned out mostly the same between wars; her connection with Sakura is better, still a bit frayed, and their mother is still alive... But that's it. Rin continues excelling in school and studying the magic arts.

She hears about Sakura growing close to some guy that's in the same year as Rin, but because of how their bond isn't quite what it used to be, Rin doesn't pry and keeps her distance. That doesn't mean she never notices Shiro for herself; Rin still watches and admires Shiro from a distance in school, not knowing who he is until she hears he's something akin to the "unofficial janitor" with how he keeps helping everyone. ... Moreover, Rin also hears about the boy through her friendship with Mitsuzuri. She almost considers joining the archery club, just to get an up close look for herself... But Shiro leaves the club, finding archery to be too easy, and Rin loses interest in the club.

When the Grail War prematurely rolls around (50 years early), and Rin is selected as a Master... She winds up saving Shiro, after he gets killed by Lancer for stumbling on his fight with Archer. Rin also tries to go save Shiro again when she realizes Lancer will target him again... But to her shock, he summons Saber when cornered. ... And not just that. The little girl that Shiro lives with... His supposed sister... She confronts Rin with Berserker, which drives Rin and Archer away from the Emiya residence.

The Middle Act

Rin is... uneasy about the war, after hearing that Illya helped sign Shiro up. And moreover, that Sakura is also a Master, and that all three of them have forged an alliance. In Rin's eyes, this isn't how Grail Wars are supposed to be conducted... This isn't what her father prepared her for.

... But there's no use crying over spilled milk. Rin's determined to win the war for the honor of the Tohsaka, and she'll find some way to win without killing Sakura or Shiro... Even if the big idiot keeps leaping into battles that aren't his to fight... (人◕ω◕);;; Rin really isn't happy to hear about how reckless Shiro is... Much less see it firsthand.

After the alliance takes down Caster and Assassin... Rin has little choice except to try hammering out a ceasefire agreement with Lancer until the bigger threat is dealt with. ... And that doesn't pan out, because Lancer's Master reneges on the deal and Lancer never shows up for the battle.

Rin's left to try tackling the alliance on her own... And it doesn't help that Archer's "priority" seems to be killing Shiro. She ends up using Command Seals to make him target only the Servants, and the jerk still fights tooth and nail to resist her... He doesn't stand a chance against Saber, Rider, and Berserker all at once. And when he has a final bitter exchange with Shiro, who refuses to back down on his ideals... Rin truly becomes concerned. Nobody should be that selfless... There's such a thing as "self-care", and Shiro doesn't have a shred of that in his body.

But Rin's Holy Grail War is technically over... She lost Archer. And she's powerless when Gilgamesh enters the fray and annihilates Berserker, before spiriting away with Illya. Gilgamesh informed them of the Grail's true nature, and believes they have no chance of saving humanity. Shiro is determined to go after him, but Sakura, Medusa, Artoria, and Rin reel him in. They need a plan, and every advantage they can get.

With the knowledge that Archer was some future Shiro, or a potential Shiro, they know he has the potential for a Reality Marble. So Rin shares part of her family crest with him, which also shares one of her most intimate memories of him, watching him relentlessly attempt the high jump... Rin is deeply embarrassed about the whole ordeal, and it only gets worse for her when Shiro confesses that she's special to him, too... That he always admired her from afar, and even if they were rivals in this war... He still wanted to protect her, to ally with her. Rin grumbles and just knows she's never gonna recover from this embarrassment... Shiro's too nice... And you can't even hate the guy for "flirting" with other girls! He just wears his heart on his sleeve. And Shiro has a big heart...

Sakura-chan gives her an earful for that ritual, sharing the family crest... She won't lose when Shiro's on the line. Medusa voices her support of Sakura, and Artoria is determined to support Shiro... Yeahhh... Rin can tell things are gonna get weird around here, if they're all going after the same guy. (人◕ω◕)

But they have a Grail War to win, first. Medusa takes on Lancer. Saber takes on Gilgamesh. And Shiro battles Kirei, with Rin and Sakura backing him up. They're grueling battles... But they manage to win completely and save Illya. And then they go to target the Greater Grail, using Saber's mightiest attack, and completely end the Grail Wars. Or they will, once they sever all the leylines.

... Oh. And Artoria and Medusa miraculously retained new mortal bodies. Isn't that delightful? They get to stick around in the modern era. Rin sure thinks this is just peachy. (人◕ω◕)

The Future

After the Grail War ends... Rin turns her attention to her suicidal idiot... *cough* That is, her new beau. ... Er. New beau shared by... several girls. (人◕ω◕);;;

Anyway~...

Rin knows even with their collective efforts, they won't be able to talk Shiro out of his unhealthy mindset. They don't want him to completely change... Just take greater care of himself. Consider his own happiness.

And to start him on that path of recovery... Rin drags him along to London. Because if he stays around all six of them - Rin, Sakura, Illya, Mitsuzuri, Medusa, and Artoria... Shiro's not gonna have any "me" time, at least in his mind. He's gonna push himself too hard to please all of them, and he'll struggle when he tries going for his selfless ambitions, travelling around the world to help people.

... Shiro needs to start small. And Rin takes point on this, knowing full well that he won't want to become a full-fledged magus. The few years at the Clocktower will give Rin alone time with Shiro, and make him learn to have a good time... Even if that's like trying to get blood from a stone.

Things don't go completely according to plan. Shiro's selfless leanings gets him close with new women... Luvia and that royal bitch Reines. (人◕ω◕);;; Rin isn't too happy seeing them "toy around" with Shiro... Well, that's mostly Reines. Luvia is a more noble sort, even if Rin can't stand her...

And when it comes time to return to Japan, Luvia and Reines come with them. Whether Rin likes it or not. (人◕ω◕) Doesn't help that Rin gets "punished" for her few years alone with Shiro, all the other girls hogging the Shiro prime time now... But at least Shiro, the big dummy sweetheart, still does his best too ensure Rin feels loved. (人◕ω◕)

Sakura might have gotten started early on the kinky before everyone else... But Rin is the first to have kids with Shiro, down the line. And it's a pretty tight race. (人◕ω◕) Marriage is a tricky affair with all of them... But Shiro is stubborn, and wants all of them married at the same time, so... That's fun. (人◕ω◕)

i suppose you could say the charm of Rin and Shiro's relationship is that they're strong-willed people who stand on equal footing with each other. They respect and admire one another, and they keep each other grounded in reality. Shiro helps Rin to look beyond the rigid rules and traditions of magi... And Rin fights tooth and nail to make Shiro be less selfless, to care for himself more. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, they're both stubborn and are prone to arguments... But they easily reconcile, and know that they love each other. (人◕ω◕) When Rin eventually goes to complete her education at the Clocktower, she does so not only for herself but also to continue growing strong to support Shiro. (人◕ω◕) She's glad to pick up connections and skills so that when Shiro does get around to travelling the world, she can arrange people to help him in a pinch~ He wants to be a Hero of Justice? Fine. But he's going to do so knowing he's not alone~ (人◕ω◕)

It takes many years, but Rin and everyone else helps Shiro mellow out. It's fine to be selfless, to care about others, but not to your own detriment. Rin is at the forefront of that fight, to make Shiro feel happy... It's a tougher fight than even the Grail War, but Rin-chan is proud to take up arms. (人◕ω◕) Shiro will be happy, she'll make sure of it~

Weekly Roundups: Prompts

FATE/STAY NIGHT

Sakura voring Shirou. You can play it however you'd like - Shirou afraid or willing, Sakura protective or monstrous, and any kind of ending is fine too (digested, let go, or just trapped inside of her).

FATE/ZERO

I've been thinking about it a normal amount. Kirei Kotomine and knife play. Imagine the tension of facing a man who could very well stab you at any moment and reveling in the sight, not just draw blood superficially from the skin, but hit the knife deep. Using it as a metaphor for penetration, even. I love him. He could be doing this to Kiritsugu I guess.

FGO

smut, With the arrival of both Hakunos to FGO, I believe a good old fashioned bisexual threesome is in order don't you?

Bart, Guda, and drowning metaphors? Bart is a weak servant + a pirate against his will who had to force a facade 24/7 so as to not let his crew down. I think he'd relate to guda in some ways. Something something I can't save you I can't pull you to the shore on my own but at least I can keep your head above water for a bit. We've both learned how to swim in this bitch of a life.

smut, Yu Mei-Ren Xiang Yu doing the do with a very enthusiastic Mash. This is probably the most random ship I've thought of.

smut, Mitsunari got that dog in him (It's Kukochihiko)

smut, Thinking on Guda or Gudako getting Passionlip off, either through going down on her or using their hands. Lovely dovey moment, helping a girl with big claws who probably hasn't had much loving touch in her life, maybe some cute crying.

smut, Meltryllis trying to give Guda/Gudako a handjob, still wearing her big sleeves. Despite how clumsy it is, Guda thinks it's the hottest thing.

kagetora losing her shit. idc if she also loses the smile or it gets psychotic but yeah. also bonus points if harunobu gets involved

Dear Nasuverse Kink Meme. Please make the two Master characters from the hit mobile phone JRPG "Fate/Grand Order" kiss on the mouth. Art or fic fills are both okay. All I request is that they not be depicted as siblings. Any other explanation for why both of them exist at the same time is okay. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards, Anon.

You know how Nobus like "wait a sec you can't be Rikyu he was tall as hell!" I would like to make a requrst for tall Rikyu please

Hi! Just wanted to say thank you for the lovely collection of Oberon art I've stumbled upon on your blog! I've recently fallen in the Oberon fan pit (partly because of lb6) and I just... can't... 🥰

Oberon has thrown a wrench in my Fgo summoning plans. I'm saving sq Tiamat and Draco and was planning to use the excess to summon Kukulkan (playing on NA), but our resident grumpy bugboy has decided to take my heart and hold it hostage until I get him in on his December banner. Damn, I just seem to get attached to characters and then need to wait ages for their banners...🥹

...Now I'm imagining the chaos in my Chaldea when Oberon comes seeing as Merlin is one of my favorites. 😂

I'm really sorry for the delayed response because I'm a failure in terms of maintaining social media, but hi! Welcome to the stinky bug hell where he will have our souls in his abyssal grip forever and he will never give you up never gonna let you down (probably) never gonna desert you

Honestly, considering us on JP side are getting Lilim Harlot rerun, it will take awhile, but Draco will most likely get a rerun, Kukulkan is a bit too close for comfort though... LB7 has a lot of great units (the amount of joy I had from seeing Kirei grace the summon screen at new year)

Also good luck, I personally believe the only reason he came to my Chaldea at NP5 was because I don't have Merlin, and then proceeded to cockblock all sorts of male Servants from Jiang Ziya, Merlin, to FSR Saber (I know their real name, just want to avoid spoilers for everyone else)....

It seemed Balmoral was serious about reconnecting with the Seelie. Not that Risteard found it unagreeable…simply he did not expect much. While he could agree that King Camhlaidh was an unexpected departure from the Seelie’s neutral and isolationist stance, he couldn’t help be guarded about them. Although, even Risteard could acknowledge that it was likely his own bias. But a healthy caution had gotten him this far.

The fae gave a proper bow to the king, eyes of gray and green like moss agate opened as he rose, “Thank you for you time, King Camhlaidh. I will try to keep it brief. My liege enjoyed the fleeting time in the Seelie and wishes to repay the hospitality extended to us.”

He produced a letter, “By inviting His Majesty and his appointed to our annual Winter Revelry.”

He offered the letter for the advisor to take. Though he did warn it was somewhat…ostentatious. Norval insisted though Risteard did not want to view the spectacle…again. His gaze silent did once over towards the advisor. Seems some things do not change…it might be a long path for the Seelie king yet. But that would have to be saved for discussion between the Courts.

“I was informed His Majesty mentioned the desire to further relations with the Unseelie as well as those beyond the Seelie’s borders. King Balmoral hopes that this may open an avenue for both means and that your attendance may be accounted for.”

@thewolfisawake​ || This came right in as I made my post, Kirei and I are telepathically linked

The Unseelie king’s Vizier. An intelligent figure, n doubt, to have earned such a position. From what Camhlaidh understood, if Balmoral’s Protector was to be considered his right hand, it wouldn’t be a far assumption to say that the Vizier was his left. 

At least one guest had enjoyed their time in Seelie. 

However, his attention was sufficiently caught, and he could hear Seòras to his side clearing his throat.

“The infamous winter revel of the Unseelie.” Turning his head, the king found his advisor fixing the Vizier with a particularly keen-eyed look. “A kind gesture from King Balmoral.”

Camhlaidh broke the wax seal and nearly started when a gathering of silver butterflies burst forth and began to spell out letters. Seòras seemed unimpressed with the theatrics. At the end of the message, the butterflies burst apart in one last gleaming shower before he found the letter proper in his hand.

“A lovely letter indeed.” The king’s mismatched eyes, flecks of silver the same shade of the butterflies’, skimmed once more over the contents of the letter. 

Another party… It seemed his own personal hell was constantly unending.

Forcing a smile to his lips, he returned his attention to the Vizier. “The Seelie would be honored to attend. Please return our acceptance to the Unseelie king.”

ANIME RECAP: NEWS VERSO L'INFINITO E OLTRE!

Torna il megapost con un nuova raccolta delle ultimissime novità uscite fra ieri e oggi, fra annunci, trailer e date!

È passato più di un mese dall'ultimo ANIME RECAP. Come avrete notato sono passato a post più snelli e minimali, che in generale mi portano via meno tempo e mi danno anche un po' più di flessibilità (e si spererebbe anche più visibilità, ma non mi pare) sui vari social.

La stagione si avvia alla conclusione, a fine marzo c'è pure l'AnimeJapan e ovviamente è il venerdì degli aggiornamenti a pioggia in Giappone! A mali estremi, estremi rimedi dunque!

Come al solito ho raccolto un po' di tutto: annunci, trailer, date, locandine. A giudicare da quello che ho visto, ci sono dei da tenere d'occhio, a mio gusto almeno. Tipo KamiKatsu che come prima prova sembra tecnicamente molto solida, Otaku Elf per le waifu, Magical Destroyers perché la cose fuori di testa m intrigano sempre, Blue Orchestra e senza dubbio il prossimo capitolo di Oddtaxi.

Sonic: I'll do it over, no matter how times it takes.

Punch: I'll relive it over and over again.

Sonic: I will find the way out!

Gilgamesh: The one path that'll save you from this destiny of death and vanishing. Even if meant my life won't be the same anymore and wouldn't ever come back like used to be.

Tsofph Season 11(Chapter1 Secret Truth of the Past)

Gilgamesh: (I've seen it. I've seen it over and over.........human history is one of opposition...this is what you see and hate, right, Shadow? People....the world....despite it all, they won't be what we want them to be.......I know that so well......That's why I made a decision to go on a journey to find more clues to stop Kujaku from fate at the end of the world)He gave me a second chance......on that Fake world.....

Gilgamesh: This is the result which I've been left with. No. It's the punishment. I've fought to protect everything I thought I wanted to protect.

*Flashback*

Lailah: A constant stream of agonizing decisions. A lonely battle, the likes of which you can scarcely imagine.

Source

“Huh… Really meaningless. Wanting to achieve the omnipotent, wish-granting device, ‘Akasha’? What a pointless wish.”

The only thing every magus yearns for even in their dreams; Archer laughed it off just like that. But Kirei was able to empathize with him.

“The craving desire for the ‘root’ is something every magus has. Bystanders would not be able to comprehend it.”

“If that is so, you are one of the bystanders too, Kirei. As far as I know, before this, your position is one which opposes the magi, right?”

Archer had seemingly heard about Kirei’s complicated stand. Although he always wears an air of hauteur, his ability to gather information is amazingly sharp.

Kirei folded his arms, deep in thought. Instead of Tōsaka Tokiomi’s apprentice, if he looks at things from the view point of the representative of the Assembly of the 8th Sacrament, what is the purpose of Tokiomi’s Heaven’s Feel?

“…..The path leading to the ‘root’ can be said to lead to the ‘outside’ of the world. Which is to say, it will not bring any effect to the ‘inside’, which is this world. For the Church, which only focuses on the ‘inside’, the magi’s pursuit is downright pointless. We can only take their action as a meaningless plan.”

“Oh I see. Looks like I am only interested in things related to this universe, which is also my garden.”

Speaking as if he owns the universe…Having such a haughty attitude really fits his status as the ‘King of Heroes’.

“I am not interested in the territories that cannot be controlled by me. That’s why I don’t care about this ‘root’ thingy at all.”

Kirei smiled bitterly. In other words, this Archer’s stand goes against all the other magi. That is why it is reasonable for Tōsaka Tokiomi, a typical magus, to feel helpless at someone like Archer.

“If the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City is only a special device which seeks the ‘root’, no matter how violently the magi fight for it, I think the Holy Church would just ignore them. Unfortunately, the ability for the Holy Grail to realize wishes is ‘omnipotent’. It has unlimited, mysterious power to change even the ‘inside’ of the world. If such a great power were to fall into wrong hands, it will become an existence which threatens our belief. This is the reason the Holy Church chose Tōsaka. Instead of ignoring this matter and let the grail fall into wrong hands, it is better if it is wasted on a ‘boring, meaningless wish’…… But I have a feeling that my father has other purposes in the beginning.”

“What you mean is, the other Masters fight for the Holy Grail for reasons different from Tokiomi’s?”

Kirei nodded his head in response to Archer’s query.

“While Tokiomi is a typical representation of a magus, he is also one of the most right-winged. In this era, people who pursue pure magecraft like he does no longer exist. All the other guys are pursuing the gifts of mundane riches. Prestige, desires, power… all these are wishes that can be fulfilled ‘within’ the world.”

“Isn’t this great? These are all my favorite things.”

“You are but the king who reigned over these uncouth ones, Gilgamesh.”

Refusing to reply, Archer merely laughed and finished his delicious wine in a single gulp. At Kirei’s apparent evaluation, he did not feel insulted at all.

“Then what about you? Kirei, what wish do you want to fulfill by getting your hands on the Holy Grail?”

.

“How dare you!”

Kirei’s fury is basically created unconsciously.

“You want me, a disciple of God, to seek pleasures? ...How can I commit such a sinful act which would cause me to be condemned?”

“Sinful act? Condemned?”

Before the lively Kirei, Archer responded with an increasingly entertained and sinful smile.

“Huh. That was a leap in logic, Kirei. Why did you correlate pleasure and sin?”

“That’s because……”

Kirei could not reply. And Kirei was also unsure how he ended up in such an awkward situation, something he had never experienced before.

As if to tease Kirei about his silence, Archer became increasingly full of himself and commented.

“Acquiring pleasures through sins is actually wrong. But humans do acquire happiness through virtuous means. If you say that pleasure in itself is sinful, does it make sense at all?”

Such an elementary question, yet why was he struggling to reply? The reason eluded Kirei. He felt as if a nonchalant unease was locked in an unknown territory deep within his heart.

“……What pleasures? I do not even have them. That’s why I will not seek it.”

Finally opening his mouth, Kirei answered in a voice unlike him at all, unsure and hesitating- as if he could not find the answer and simply came up with some sentence to deal with it.

Archer scrutinized him, then burst out in laughter.

“Kotomine Kirei, suddenly I have a new-found interest in you.”

“……What do you mean?”

“I’m just kidding. Don’t mind me.”

Pouring himself a new cup of red wine, he leaned back on the sofa, speaking loudly.

“Happiness is fundamentally a part of the human soul. There isn’t any ‘yes’ and ‘no’ distinction. It is just whether you are ‘aware’ or ‘not aware’ of it. Kirei, you had only failed to find it from the depths of your heart. To experience happiness, that is the first thing to do.”

“Mind your own business, Servant. Trying to educate me…”

“This is no ordinary education. It is gained by a king from experiencing all the luxuries and pleasures of the world. Listen carefully.”

Despite saying that, Kirei was actually meticulously analyzing everything Archer said.

For some reasons, those haughty words sent shockwaves to his nerves.

“Kirei. First of all, you have to understand something about this thing called entertainment.”

“Entertainment?”

“U-huh. Limiting your views to only the ‘inside’ is not the right way. You must broaden your horizon……Oh yeah. Let’s start by letting you experience my entertainments. How does that sound?”

“For the ‘me’ right now, there is no such thing as ‘time for entertainment’.”

I am different from you, Kirei thought silently.

“Hey, don’t say something like that. After accomplishing Tokiomi’s tasks, you will have lots of time, eh? You duty is to dispatch spies to monitor the movements of the other five Masters, right?”

“……You are correct.”

“In that case, you shouldn’t just understand their intentions and battle strategies. How about finding out their reasons for seeking the Holy Grail and letting me know about them? That’s not something too hard for you, right?”

Indeed, this type of investigation did not diverge much from the assignment Tokiomi gave him.

Assassin, who observed the everyday life of its target, could easily record their conversations. By analyzing the content of the dialogues, the reason they sought the Holy Grail could then be deduced easily. All he had to do is just to ask Assassin to pay extra attention to this type of conversation.

“……But Archer, why do you want to know such things?”

“I mentioned it before, right? I am interested in the behaviors of human beings. And among those who fight for the Holy Grail, there has to be one or two interesting Masters, right? At least more interesting than Tokiomi.”

Kirei tried to cool his head and think rationally. He had only regarded Emiya Kiritsugu with interest, completely ignoring the rest. Besides, he did not have any obligation to agree to Archer’s request. However, if he could have some influence over this Servant who was completely out of Tokiomi’s control, maybe it would bring some positive effects to the Tokiomi camp in the future.

“……Okay, Archer. I promise you. But this will take some time.”

“No problem at all. I have the patience to wait.”

*End of Flashback*

Gilgamesh: "When someone wins, the fighting will end".

Tsofph Season 10(Chapter2 Fake World)

Kujaku: That King Lelouch called me "scrum", what a disgraceful! Even knew what my plans were even you, Sonic. He knew that I would capture you like this....that's why he knew I won't kill you. That's why you use his last weapon as slow time.

Sonic: I let myself be trapped by you because I knew you only focas only me. I also use another thing from Kikyo......her blessing...

Kujaku: That golden king......so both you and King Gilgamesh chose Punch as checkmate. I should see that coming....!!

Sonic: Heh.

Kujaku: Well as a reward. I will tell you about my failed plan then. I tested humans as to achieve my goal but fail by Syaoran's group. Fei Wang Reed, Charles zi Britannia, Artorius Collbrande, and King Magnifico. At first, I let Fei Wang to test the sword of akasha next when fail, I use Artorius, use his emotion to control him and succeed but fail by you and Syaoran.

Sonic: You're the one who sent Metarex to attack me and lure Syaoran's group to me. Even though Artorius's plan failed you still used Lucas to capture me and test to use me; Vaten Hörmulegt curse power. Because you can't capture both Sakura and Chester, that's why you tried to capture me...even now.

Kujaku: To find a last Vaten Hörmulegt, Earth element.

Sonic: ................!!

Kujaku: And I will do anything to take you to despair again.

Sonic: That means to that end requires me to reject something. To be afraid even I got all my memories back.

Kujaku: Even knows King Gilgamesh lies to you....even this world lies to you.....even this fake world felt like the entire world was watching like you don't have any freedom. That's the world you must fight against, all alone.

Sonic: That will the world that both Punch and that golden king will fight alone, not me. Maybe I shouldn't exist but that doesn't mean helping someone is illegal. Why do people need to hide their identity, why do people need to lie? It's not just to struggle against each other. It's because they seek something. A world where it's all right for everything to stay as it is will stagnate. You can't call that life!

Kujaku: You know what you're doing right, rodent? Know your place!

Sonic: I am just a guy who freely loves adventure, I do what I know is right. I never obey anyone even my brothers. I go with their plans with my own free will. Even what I do will be the sinful nature itself.

*Flashback*

Eagle: Why are you want to switch a soul?

Sonic: I saw Kujaku take my body and turn me into some kind like mecha Sonic. My soul will be destroyed if I don't do something. It is just like when Mecha Sonic planned to transfer his mind into my body in the past.

Eagle: King Gilgamesh also said the same to me that his only reason for him keep travelling was to stop Kujaku. This special prize, King Gilgamesh was also part of making this. You already knew this too. Then may I ask again, do you want to be separated that badly from those people?

Sonic: Yes.

Eagle: Even though you lied to your friends? You are not the type that loves to lie.

Sonic: It's good for them to not let them know...after all I am also responsible for what I was born into this world. I just don't want both Shadow and Amy to protect me and hurt themself. I can't watch them get hurt because of me. They had been through long enough.

Eagle: And Syaoran?

Sonic: .........Kujaku sent Exeller to kill Syaoran. A long time ago Kujaku sent Fei Wang Reed to kill Syaoran and he did use Fai's curse as a purpose. I can't let Exeller know what I had known so I need to lie to Syaoran too.

*End of Flashback*

Sonic: That's why if we keep running away, tomorrow will never come. "When someone wins, the fighting will end."

Kujuku: kkkkkkkuu

Sonic: You too, Kujaku. You tried to run away from what you had done. Maybe you're my worst enemy more than that Egghead. Even that Egghead was cowardly but he never left his creation even want this world to be destroyed. That's why as an enemy, I respect him as an evil scientist. But you, Kujaku, you're the only one I want to kill you!(That's right. I saw what Kujaku planned. No one can change the past, present and future. I was trapped in eternal darkness without an exit. The only way that I can do now is to trust Punch. I believe she will do the right thing and the possible thing as I did even if it meant change me forever.)

Tsofph Season 11(Chapter1 Secret Truth of the Past)

Punch: ..................................

*Flashback*

– Once, there was a human man. An android made by god.

Although his human body was made of mud, he was a foolish jester who stretched out to stand next to the son of god as his equal.

However, his hubris and disrespectful arrogance offended the gods in heaven. The man suffered divine retribution and lost his life.

Even now, the King of Heroes can not forget his tearstained face as he died.

He asked why he was crying. "At this stage, are you regretting the stupidity of putting yourself beside me?"

"It’s not that–" He replied. “Who will understand you after I die? Who will walk beside you? My friend… when I imagine that you will be alone from now on, I can’t help but shed tears…”

Like so, when he saw that man taking his last breath, the incomparable king realized – the way that this man, who was human but wanted to surpass humanity, had lived, was even more precious and more brilliant than all the treasures he had collected.

"A fool who stretches their hands towards realms, not of man… There's only one person in Heaven or Earth who can love your ruin. That is none other than I, Gilgamesh. Sink into my embrace, oh you glorious and illusionary men. That is my decision.”

EP19.1 Special: I only enjoy human pleasure. Aren't we alike Homura?

*End of Flashback*

Punch: Enkidu....................I still never change my mind that is my decision. To advance toward the future, we need to take over the world, this rule of the universe that's just like chess. If Lelouch was here......I think he will do the same as you, Mr Gilgamesh.

.

.

Gilgamesh: No one will believe me about the future. No one will accept the truth or the dark truth about the past, present and future. No one will understand me. Then..I...I won't depend on anyone anymore

Gilgamesh & Punch: even if it meant changing me forever.

Tsofph Season 11(Chapter3 The beginning of the miracle)

Punch: Hope and Freedom. Atonement and isolation. However, the mess known as the world keeps on flowing despite the wishes of individuals. Kujaku, you prioritised the plan so much that it didn't matter if we were alive or dead! That's why you abandoned your people even your best friends, Mr Gilgamesh and Enkidu! All you have left are self-serving excuses!

Kujaku: You chose reality and the forward march of time.

Syaoran: The same path as King Lelouch's path, even King Arthur.

Punch: "When someone wins, the fighting will end."

was that halle bailey? oh no no, that was just ahsoka tano, a canon character from star wars. they are twenty two years old, use she/her, and are aware that they are not actually from washington dc. too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

how long has your character been here:

about five and a half years, she's about twenty seven at this point

what is your character’s job:

she's the director of the secret service, and often is on the president's personal detail, simply because she doesn't entirely trust a non force sensitive agent to be able to handle leia

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom:

she's completely up to date, up to the end of the rise of skywalker and palpatine's defeat

has any magic affected your character:

ahsoka's been unaware a few times, and has a much more human appearance than she did back home

and any other information you might find useful for us and the other members to know:

this was the first character i was truly genuinely obsessed with. i have loved ahsoka tano with all my heart and soul since i was nine years old and i will love her until i die

she was anakin skywalker's padawan during the clone wars, and while he didn't initially want her, they became incredibly close and that's her dad now, padme is mom sorry

she fought by anakin's side almost constantly, and was even given a squadron of her own to command. she grew up in the war, but anakin tended to try and turn things into games where he could, doing all he could possibly do to give her at least somewhat of a childhood amidst the horrors of war

during the war, she was stranded on mortis with anakin and obi wan, and died in the aftermath of the conflict. anakin resurrected her with the power of the daughter, the embodiment of the light side of the force, and she still holds that power within her to this day

she left the order before order 66 because she was framed for treason and expelled, and when she was offered her place back, she decided she couldn't do it and i love her for making the choice that was right for her even if it broke her heart to leave

she did help the order out for the siege of mandalore, taking down maul and nearly dying in order 66 before saying fuck it and joining the rebellion and becoming a whole spymaster!! all the fulcrum agents are under her command and she set up the mission that led to the rebels getting the death star plans!!!! i love her!!!!!

during the war, she also ended up finding a force sensitive child and taking her in, and that's her child now. ahsoka forcefully adopts family members i guess. she'd die for kirei no questions asked

she fought against vader and the emperor during the war, and won against both, though only due to a bit of luck. she did technically die against vader, but a time travel complication allowed her to escape at the last possible second, returning to the current timeline and managing to continue in yet another war

she's got very complicated feelings on anakin because she loves him!!! she loves him so much but she also knows he did terrible things! so it's a weird dichotomy of being so happy he's alive and being terrified he'll snap again

she's also got complex feelings on the jedi because she does know they did good, and were good people, but she also knows they fucked her up, and fucked anakin up, and that their policies weren't perfect by any means

in dc, she's met leia, anakin and padme's child, and has become incredibly close with her and her sister, winter, both women becoming like her little sisters. they have a set of matching tattoos, ahsoka's reads i of iiii, and winter and leia have ii and iii, with iiii saved for luke

ahsoka has also been training leia in the force, hoping that she can prevent leia from turning out like her father, because she sees so many similarities to anakin in her sister, and it both frightens her and makes her happy

after leia fell, she did everything she could to bring her back, even cutting herself off and lying about her memories to attempt to get leia off guard. once a spy, always a spy

she's also reunited with anakin here, and while she's thrilled, their relationship is a little bit strained at the moment, because during the corn maze event, ahsoka ended up under leia's control, and an unfortunate choice of words led to ahsoka murdering anakin against her will

at this point, she's like desperately trying to hold her family together, and feels like the only one who isn't ready to snap sometimes, despite being absolutely right on the edge just not in a dark side way

anyways she needs a drink twenty four seven, and keeps booze in her office to jensens forever annoyance but does she care about that any man's opinion? nope

[mcrcki]

"well, if she doesn't i will, that's so kriffing messed up." omega squeezed her friend's hand, not wanting kirei to feel alone. they would have their back, through all of this. "so, the vice president is the reason my brothers are blamed for the jedi--" it was taking everything in omega's power to not go and hunt him down herself right now, to make him pay for all that he had done to the clones. "yeah, he used my people as pawns, my brothers." omega had to control the anger that was flaring, looking away from kirei for a moment while they regained some sort of composure. "i'm sure she'll get her head out of her ass, your family seems close enough, they won't let her be like this for forever, right?" they had to get her back, if for nothing else other than getting that monster out of being the president, to knock him back down before palpatine could do anything. omega shrugged at the question. "yeah, we're okay. i'm okay. broke my collarbone, but he at least adjusted enough that that was all it was." omega didn't hold it against hunter, it wasn't him.. he had tried to save them. "i think you deserve at least one good hit, maybe another one for good measure."

"I don't know," kirei didn't know what their mom had planned, she hoped that it was decking leia on sight - but she also didn't want her to get hrt again. kirei nodded. "yeah - the vice president is one as well, he was the one who caused everything back home - the clones chips being activated and the cause of all the jedi being killed - he was the reason darth vader was created." they paused, sighing slightly. "no one knew the chancellor was the sith lord that everyone was looking for, he did it all right under everyone's noses using other people as pawns." kirei nodded. "you're right - whoever that is isn't leia," omega was right - kirei knew that the darkside of the force was corrupting, maybe she'd give leia another chance once this was all over. "are you okay?" they asked, brow furrowing slightly. "it's probably going to take a while," they paused. "I think I should just get to deck her on sight - just one good hit and then everything will be fine,"

[kxkyuu]

You're mine now, Private

Kirei: So, I had to split this is two, maybe three parts because of how long it is. But I hope you like it! This is a repost cause Tumblr is a bitch.

Summary: I decided to join the Marines in efforts to spite a certain blonde Gunnery Sergeant. Little did I know he'd taken an intense desire for me.

Alternate Universe - No Quirks (My Hero Academia)

It was finally swim week. I’ve actually been dreading this week. I may be a Navy brat with Coast Guard brothers, but I can barely swim to save my own life. No matter how hard my dad and brother tried to teach me, I just could not get swimming down.

My mom often joked it was because I belonged in the sky like her. But I just think it was that I was just not a swimmer. I looked down at the large pool with slight fear in my eyes as I could feel every pound of the heavy gear we had to wear.

“Alright, you unmanly weaklings!” Kirishima barked out. “Today you will learn how to survive in the water!” He smiled, teeth gleaming sharply in the dimmed lighting of the pool house. This was his favorite week to train. Kiri loved being in the water more than anything.

“You will learn to tread water while in full on combat gear! You will also use issued equipment to stay afloat and shed your equipment while still in the water.” He held up a stopwatch, his smile still in place even as his red eyes shined with an evil glare. “Oh and you will only have fifteen minutes to do it all. If you cannot do it you will be dismissed from boot camp!”

Shock ran down my spine. Dismissed? Fuck. My. Life. I adjusted the heavy pack on my shoulders and repositioned my helmet. Fifteen minutes. I can stay afloat about twenty on my own.

So, I quickly calculated the extra weight and it came to about ten extra pounds on me. ‘I can do this.’I patiently waited in line, my eye catching a flash of blonde hair and my body instantly warmed.

He was watching me.

That gave me a slight confidence boost knowing that he was there.

I could not explain why I felt better with the thought that Bakugou was watching me. How did I go from not standing that man to wanting him to ravage me so badly it hurt? I drew in a calming breath when I locked eyes with him and he gave me that little smirk that has begun to grow on me.

When they called my name, I took another deep breath and jumped. The water was cold and instantly began trying to drag me to the bottom. I had to claw my way up to the surface and slowly began to kick my feet and wave my arms to tread the water.

“Oi, Dumbass. Catch!”

A long floatation device smacked me in the head as I was trading causing me to lose focus and I began to sink. Desperate to remain here in boot camp, I struggled back to the surface launching towards the floatation device.

Once I had it secured under one of my arms, I began shedding the heavy equipment down to just my military green t-shirt, camos, and boots. Quickly I swam over to the other edge of the large pool and pulled myself up out of the water.

“Time!” I heard Kirishima call out. “13:45!”

I beamed brightly. I did it. I fucking did it! I glanced over at Katsuki to see the tiniest of smirks on his face as his eyes gleamed. He was proud that I would be able to continue boot camp. I felt my racing heart finally ease into a normal pace as I grabbed the towel that Jirou had set out for me.

As I walked back to the door, I could hear the Drill Instructors yelling at a few other recruits who were taking up a lot of time just trying to tread water. I could only hope they weren’t part of my platoon. I did not feel like getting slayed today. I was exhausted.

But it was no such luck. Dabi was one of the recruits that was getting yelled at by the Drill Instructors so of course, our entire squad got slayed…in the fucking sand pit while we were still wet from the pool. Jirou and Kaminari kept us out in the sand pit for hours, calling out push ups, sit ups, burpees, high knees, every single type of plank and squats.

I was caked in dirt and grime by the time of it all it was over. I had sand in places I did not even want to describe. The sun had already set by the time Jirou and Kaminari let us go, so it was also freezing. Wrapping my arms around my wet body, I hurried to my barracks.

I let out a surprised yelp when someone caught me by the waist and quickly covered my mouth with their hand. While I wanted to flip the person over my shoulder, my body seemingly melted into their touch.

It was not until that familiar gruff voice rumbled in my ears, did I realize who had captured me. “Drill Instructor, sir, what are you doing?” I questioned, trying to pull away so that I would not dirty his pristine camo uniform.

Bakugou leaned over me, his hair tickling my forehead. “There will be a line for the showers at your barracks. Come on, Private.” He wrapped his large hand around my wrist and pulled me alongside him.

We moved in the opposite direction of my platoon’s barracks and closer to the Drill Instructors’ personal barracks. An area where us, Privates, are not allowed to go. “What are you waiting for, Dumbass? Get inside before someone sees you!”

I swallowed dryly as I stepped into Katsuki’s private quarters. Why was I here? I could have waited to shower or atleast scrubbed off some of the sand and grime off my body in the sink.

“Sir,” I said in a quiet, nervous voice, “Why am I here? I need to get back to my barracks before Drill Instructor Jirou notices.”

A feral smile spread over his lips as he stalked towards his prey. His eyes gleamed as he watched her take a step back every time he moved closer until she was pressed against the wall. “Private…” Katsuki growled out. “You know why you’re here. Don’t act like a dumbass.” He slammed his hands on either side of her head when he saw that she was contemplating her escape.

Leaning in, he pressed his lips to her dusty ones, not caring that he would taste the sand covering them. “You think you’re dirty now, recruit? Get in that shower and I’ll show you just how dirty I can make you.”

My eyes widened as I nodded my head, a sudden wave of nervousness washing over me. Was I really about to do this? Was I really prepared for this? That evil little voice in the back of my head was rejoicing and telling me to just indulge in my desires. Desires that only Katsuki Bakugou would quench.

With that confidence boost, I slowly began to peel off my wet, sand covered clothing as he watched with eager eyes. “Do you like what you see, Sir?” I taunted as I walked into the bathroom. “If you want it, just try and come and take it.” With those words floating through the air, I started up the shower and began rinsing away the sand and grime that coated my body.

Bakugou felt his lips spread even further at her taunting. Oh, he would enjoy breaking her and making her into a Princess meant just for him. He would fuck the attitude right out of that little recruit. But he will make her wait and anticipate him for a while.

Then he would pounce. Walking over to his bed, he opened the top draw of the bedside table and pulled something out. Another wicked smile curled at his lips as he set the items down on the bed. Oh, it was going to be a very long night for his little naughty Princess.

I was nearly finished with my shower and was just enjoying the warm water like I did when I was back at home. ‘Guess he was all talk, no bite.’ I laughed to myself as I allowed the water to run down my face as I scrubbed it with a towel.

I let out a small yelp when rough hands grabbed my waist and pushed me against the wall of the shower. Firm lips caught mine and a slick tongue found its way inside and wrapped around mine. That sweet hint of caramel flooded my taste buds and I moaned softly. 

“Gunnery Sergeant…” I let out a whimper when those firm fingers of his twisted at one of my nipples while the other pinched my clit.

“Oh, no little dumbass, tonight I’m either just Sir or Daddy.” Bakugou slid his fingers hard against her already slick nerve. “Got it?” He smirked at her consenting nod. “That’s an obedient little dumbass.” Katsuki pressed his lips back against hers, trying to mark her as his.

His fingers found their way inside of her, the water from the shower making it easier. As he pumped two fingers in and out at a slow, almost maddening speed, he watched her face contort with pleasure. “You know what, I take that back. Cry out my name, baby. Moan it nice and loud for me.”

I shook my head, not giving him the satisfaction of hearing me turn into putty in his hands. I bit my lip hard to hold in my whimpers when he picked up the pace of his thick digits, sliding along my slick folds. He was going to break me. I could feel it.

But I was not going to go down without a fight. No, he wanted to hear me cry out his name, then he will have to work for it. I gasped when I felt his teeth and tongue on my neck, nibbling down to my pulse point. Fuck…. He found a weak spot. My legs began to quiver and threatened to give out.

Katsuki smirked against her flesh. “What’s the matter, Dumbass? Stand straight or can’t you handle a little teasing? Or maybe you want to be impaled on my fingers?” His teeth grazed over the junction where her neck and shoulder met and gained the same reaction from her again. 

“Oh? Sensitive here, I see.” He trailed the hand that was not currently inside her to trace random patterns on her back. His nails scratched a line down to her lower back and his little recruit opened her mouth in a loud wailing moan. “Heh, looks like I found the ultimate spot here, Private.”

‘Fuck…’ The things he was doing to me should be illegal. The things he was making my body feel should not be right! I bit my lip again to stifle my cries when he inserted a third finger, stretching me out. I could feel his hard cock against my stomach but the maddening pleasure he was giving me had one of my hands clenched tightly at my side.

I drew the other to my lips to bite down on my knuckle after my lips were bruised from my abuse of them. It did not help that every time I could feel myself nearing completion, the cocky asshole would slow back down and start the build up again. “Sir, please…”

“Please what, Princess?” He lifted his head to look into her eyes. A smirk titled at his lips as he saw the lewd expression on her face. Eyes glazed over with lust, mouth open as she panted around her knuckle, face flushed with an adorable blush. 

“Give me what I want to hear and I may be merciful and let you cum, little dumbass.” He shoved his fingers inside her dripping hole roughly, nearly picking her up off of her feet as she was forced to grab onto his forearms to keep from falling over. “Stand up straight, Private. That’s order.”

“Fuck! Katsuki!” I screamed out. The response was immediate. His fingers drilled in and out of me at an almost inhumane speed, hitting depths that my own could never reach. I was a sobbing mess as I pleaded for my release. “Katsuki, please. Let me cum!” I begged him as I held onto his forearms, the feeling in my legs finally giving out.

He pushed me against the wall and lifted one of my legs to wrap around his waist. I was so close I could taste it. “Shit, shit, shit…please?” I titled my head back against the wall of the shower and let out a lustful mewl of Bakugou’s name as I came hard on his fingers.

I felt dizzy as I leaned my head against his chest to try and catch my breath. I saw that the sleeve of tattoos that went up his arms, also covered his chest and down his abdomen. I blinked when his fingers were suddenly pressed against my lips.

‘Did he want me to…?’ Seeing the stern look in those carmine eyes of his, I knew he was serious. Parting my lips, my tongue slipped out and curled around his thick digits and licked my juices off them.

“Good girl.” Katsuki murmured as he picked up her other leg, “I’d rather taste you directly.” With just his arms, he lifted his little recruit up on his shoulders and buried his nose into her crotch. “You smell fucking delicious, Princess.” He wrapped her legs around his neck and held her hips down with his hands. 

“Let’s see if you taste as good as you smell. What did you say to me before? Oh, right. Thank you for the fucking food.” Bakugou slid his tongue along her wet slit, grunting at the flavor of her.

A rush of liquid flooded my center as I tried to thrash around when I felt his tongue on me. It was too much too soon. I had just come and he was already doing more torturous pleasure to my body.

I was still sensitive. He curled his wet muscle around my clit while his lips sucked at my labia. “Oh god…” I cried out when he moved one of his hands off of my hips to spread my lower nethers further for his assault. I bit at my knuckles when his chuckles sent vibrations all through my body.

“God? Thanks for the compliment, Dumbass. But the name is Katsuki. That’s the one you should be screaming.” He glided his finger over the swollen nub and gave it a pinch as he stuck his tongue inside her quivering hole.

He was not going to stop until she was a sobbing mess underneath him. Right where she belonged. “Maybe I should spell my name down here? The only name you’ll ever cry out.” Katsuku growled against her sex.

My voice was starting to go hoarse from the overuse of it, but that did not stop him. I was starting to really believe that Bakugou was a sex demon sent from hell to tempt me. And it was working, I curled my fingers into his thick, wet blonde hair, pushing him closer to my core as his tongue worked wonders over me.

I could feel him spelling things out on my clit, but I was too dazed to figure them out. The pleasure was almost painful, so I did not know if I wanted to pull him even closer or try to shove his head away so I could breathe. That warmth in my lower belly grew hotter with each stroke. “F-fuck…Katsuki…please?”

Bakugou chuckled once more as he sucked on her clit. “Begging again, Private? I can’t understand you with the water running.”

I bit my lip. I did not want to give him the satisfaction of hearing me beg him to let me cum. But damn it, if he did not give me a release soon, I was going to go insane. But my pride.

When his teeth grazed over that sensitive little bundle of nerves, I broke. “Please, sir, let me cum!” I screamed when Katsuki bit down on my clit again and shoved two fingers inside my slick, quivering hole at the same time.

I felt drunk as I came hard, a flood of my juices coating his face. My breath came out in pants and my body was still twitching as he gave me little licks and nips, easing me down from my high.

He grinned as he lowered her back down onto her weak legs. He licked her lips, still tasting her before grabbing her chin and pulling her into for another wild kiss. “That was how I imagined hearing you saying my name, Dumbass.” 

He watched her face go through a myriad of emotions before settling on bashful. ”Now,” Katsuki said, his voice stern. “Turn around, Private. Right fucking now. That’s a direct order.”

My eyes widened as I stared up at him. I had just come again. Could I not get a chance to rest? Plus the water was starting to get cold. But the look in his eyes said that he was not going to wait. If I did not turn around, he would make me. 

“Aye, sir.” I saw as I showed him my ass, pressing my hands against the shower wall. I flinched when his hands slammed against the wall next to my head. “Sir?” I said shyly.

Katsuki leaned his head down on her shoulder, his hand stroking over his cock. “Listen Dumbass, count the inches and you better not fuck up.” He smirked as he rubbed the tip against her, circling around her tight little hole. “Or there will be hell to pay.” Slowly he pushed inside, a groan caught up in his throat.

“Fuck…” I cried out, Just as I imagined. The Gunny was large. Very large and thick. This felt very different than having him in my hand. The feeling was not the same. In my hand it felt like steel wrapped in velvety skin, but inside me? I could not describe the feeling. 

“1..sir…” I began to count as he slid deeper within me, inch by painstaking inch. “2..sir…3…sir..” I let out a loud gasp when he purposely shoved it in deeper and pulled out. “Katsuki!”

“What was that, Dumbass? You messed up the count.” He pulled out completely and slapped the head of his cock against her ass cheeks. “Do it again. Right now, Private.” Bakugou growled against her neck, hands pulling at her waist as he sank back within the warm depths of clenching insides.

I could not think. My mind had gone blank at this point. The pleasure was driving me insane. And he wanted me to count?! I could not do that with how he keeps going in and out at such a pace I could not keep up.

Was it at eight inches or ten? Or was it twelve?

I could not remember. All I know that he was long and thick to the point it nearly hurt to take all of him inside. The tip of his cock was pressed so tightly against my cervix that my legs were shaking. I could not keep myself standing for long. I needed a break.

The back to back orgasms. The over stimulation of my senses. It was all too much. And with the water turning cold against my heated flesh, striking against my back was also doing things to me. “Ah, Katsuki, please. I can’t take it anymore.”

Katsuki, the sadistic asshole he was, wrapped his hands tighter around her waist and pulled her down more. “Yes, you can Princess. Or are you really Marine material?” 

He knew that would awaken her competitive, strong-willed side that attracted him to her. And it did. He felt her start to push back against his thrusts, her inner muscles clenching down on him. “F-fuck…heh…maybe you are Marine material.” He sped up his thrusting.

My legs were about to give out at this point but I was not going to let him win. I was going to make him go mad for me. Using my hands as leverage, I pushed back against him and squeezed down, trying to milk him of everything he had to over.

I enjoyed the feeling of him sliding in and out, rubbing against my walls, but this was a competition now. He was going to cum for me first. I was not going to cum anymore for him. “Oh shit…” I moaned when his fingers began sliding over my clit. ‘Fucking cheat…’

“Did you think you could beat me, Princess?” Bakugou licked the shell of her ear before nibbling on the lobe, working his digits over that cute little sensitive spot of hers. “I know all your weaknesses.” He trailed his teeth down to her neck, grazing the flesh roughly before biting down on her pulse point.

He could feel her legs trembling as she tried her best to keep up with his pace. He decided that maybe he should end her suffering. Dragging his nails down the small of her back and sucking at the bite mark he had created, Katsuki started thrusting even harder.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck…” the curse left me as a mantra. Damn it. I was not going to last much longer. I could feel my walls fluttering around him as that itch for release burned in my belly. When he gave another sharp, hard thrust, I felt myself come undone.

My mouth hung open as my tongue fell out as I came. My chest was heaving heavily as I tried to catch my breath. That was such an intense orgasm that my arms and legs finally gave out and Katsuki had to wrap his arms around me to keep me from falling. “Oh hell…” I drew in several deep breaths, trying to calm my racing heart.

Katsuki waited for her to catch her breath before he slowly slid in and drew a surprised gasp from her. He smirked down at her. “You really thought I was done with you? Oh no, Dumbass. I’ve only just begun.” 

He pulled out completely and picked her up in his arms, ignoring her protests and demands for a rest. “You’re mine now, Private.” He walked out of the bathroom and tossed her on the bed.

I wanted to protest but I had no strength left in my arms and legs. My eyes widened when I saw Bakugou reach for something that was sitting next to me. “W-why do you have those?” 

He smiled that feral smile I’ve grown used to seeing when we were alone and my heart began to beat even faster in my chest. Why did he have a blindfold? Not to mention a fucking vibrator! What did he plan on doing with that! “Bakugou, sir?”

He silenced her with another deep kiss, his tongue wrapping around hers. “Listen, Dumbass. You trust me?”

Did I? I mean did just let him have his complete and utter way with me in the shower? Slowly, I nodded my head, “Aye sir.” As soon as I said that my vision was stolen as Katsuki placed the blindfold over my eyes.

A sense of panic washed over me briefly until I felt soft touches running along my body and my skin felt alive. “Oh?” I cried out, unprepared for the rush of sensitivity that spread over me.

Katsuki trailed his fingers along his recruit’s body slowly, stirring her back up in a state of arousal. He brought his hand up to her face, caressing her cheek before moving to her lips.

His cock twitched at the thought of having those pretty little lips wrapped around him, to feel her warm, wet mouth sucking him dry. “Fuck…” He cursed as he grabbed the back of her head and guided her down. “Open your mouth, Princess.”

I flared my nostrils, taking in his manly scent as I did as I was told. I opened my mouth and stuck out my tongue. He filled my mouth and stretched my lips to the fullest extent. I took in as much as I could without choking, but he touched the back of my throat.

So I wrapped my hands around whatever was left out. I bobbed my head up and down on his lap, working my tongue over him. The sweet taste of his precum flooded my senses and I could not help but moan at the flavor. I heard him groan in pleasure and I so desperately wanted to see his face contorted in ecstasy, so I silently cursed the blindfold around my eyes.

Her tongue felt so amazing on him. His head fell back and his hands came up to run fingers through her hair, wrapping it around. Bakugou guided her down further on his cock, wanting more of her lips around him.

While he was careful to not choke her ‘Too much.’ He needed more. “Use your tongue more, Dumbass.” He grunted out when she took his command and ran her tongue over the underside of of cock.

With each drag down my throat, I worked my tongue over the sensitive head, licking up any liquid that may have collected at the slit. Fuck, he tasted so good. Shaking his hands off of my head, I said, “You’re holding me back, sir.” 

With renewed freedom, I placed my hands around the base of his dick and licked at the tip with the tip of my tongue, drawing small circles around him. I could hear him moan out and that only spurred me on as a rush of liquid dripped down my thighs. Gods, he sounded so sexy. “Keep your hands off of my head.”

Katsuki curled his fingers into the sheets of the bed, letting her take control. Watching her head go up and down on his cock, seeing it slip in and out of that pretty little mouth of hers was mesmerizing. He would let her have control for now, but…

Bakugou reached for the vibrating wand and turned it on. If she noticed the buzzing, she paid it no mind. He bit back a smug laugh when she jumped as the wand glided over her back, sending tingles down her spine.

He moved the vibrating wand over the curve of her ass until he reached that dripping hole of hers. He pressed it against her and felt her moan deeply against his cock, the vibrations of it causing him to tremble and let out a groan.

His hips began to move as he slid more of him down that pretty throat of her as he kept the vibe in place on her sex. She moaned again, her body beginning to spam when he placed the device on her throbbing clit. “That’s it, Princess. Let’s cum together.” He commanded as he felt his balls tighten in preparation for his release.

I swallowed him down my throat, working my hands over the parts I could not fit. Drool was leaking out of my mouth and my jaw was starting to ache, but I was not going to stop. I wanted to taste more of his seed, fresh from the source this time.

I sped up my sucking, hollowing out my cheeks and working my tongue over him. Slowly, to not scare him, I brought my hand up and cupped his balls, rolling them around between my fingers. That seemed to be his undoing as I felt him swell in my mouth before a rush of hot liquid struck my tongue.

That same sweet, yet slightly salty taste filled my mouth and I moaned at the feeling.

Bakugou’s hips gave soft little jerks as he felt his release come to stop. His lips curled into that trademark feral grin as he turned the wand up to the maximum settings. He watched as her body twitched beautifully as her head swung backward with her mouth still full of his cum. 

“Don’t swallow yet, little recruit.” He grabbed her and pulled her back against his chest, the toy pressed so tightly against her clit. “I want you to come undone first.” Katsuki bent his head and bit down on her neck, soothing it with his tongue right after.

Her moans were like music to his ears and he wanted to hear more. Using his free hand, he scratched a long line down her back.

I let out a muffled moan as I started to cum against the intensity of the vibrator and from Katsuki running his nails down the length of my spine to my lower back. Hot liquid ran down my thighs as I tried to cry out the Gunny’s name.

I swallowed when he gave me the order before he pressed his lips against mine in a sweet, gentle kiss. I crawled into his lap when he pulled the wand away and pulled at my arms, cuddling against his chest as he pressed soft kisses to my forehead. “Katsuki…” I said his name in the softest of whispers. “C-can I take the blindfold off now?”

His eyes widened for a second before his lips spread into a grin. “Not yet, Private.” Even as he was just holding her against him, he could feel his cock twitch back to life. Bakugou took her hand and placed it on him.

He laughed at the confused expression on her face as she bit her bottom lip. “You ready for round three?” Katsuki took hold of her leg, placing one over his shoulder and giving it a long, wet lick.

I bit my lip in anticipation for the first thrust of his hard cock sliding inside my weeping sex. I still let out a surprised gasp when Bakugou probed at my entrance with his fingers, spreading me with his thumbs. “Katsuki…I…I need it.” I could sense the smile that was more than likely spreading over his lips.

He had won.

I was a pleading mess under him. I wanted him so badly that it hurt. I did not care if my body was still tingling from the multiple orgasms. I wanted more from Katsuki. To feel his long, thick cock filling me. “Please, Daddy.”

Katsuki licked his lips. He’d finally gotten her right where he wanted her. His Princess was where she belonged. A dripping wet, begging little dumbass that was only his. “That’s a good little naughty Princess.” He leaned down and gave her ear a nibble as he aligned his cock with her honeyed entrance. 

”You’re mine now, Dumbass.” With those words, he sheathed himself inside in one smooth glide. His hands tightened on her thighs, feeling them tremble.

Bakugou knew that she would not last long but he couldn’t help but to torment her a little. He gave slow, shallow thrusts meant to drive her up the wall with desire as he kissed all over her body.

I could feel my legs shaking as Katsuki moved slowly within me. I could feel each and every inch as he took his time. The pace he was going was damn near maddening. While I liked that he was taking his time and tending to my sore and tender body with wet kisses and slow thrusts, I wanted him to take me fast and hard like in the shower.

My body was thriving with pleasure, but my clit was throbbing, aching because my body wanted release. I was damn near in tears behind the blindfold. “Daddy…I need to cum. Make me cum!”

“Hmm?” He hummed in between kisses. “What did you say, little recruit?” He slid his tongue over her collarbone down to her chest and closed his lips over a taut nipple. She mewled so beautifully for him when he did that, her back arching off of the bed.

Katsuki decided that he wanted to see her eyes as she came for the final time due to his cock. Reaching for the blindfold, he ripped it off of her eyes and at the same moment, sped up his thrust.

He heard her strangled cry and saw the way her eyes crossed and her tongue out as the pleasure drove her mad. ”Look at me, Princess. Fucking look at me. That’s an order.”

I tried to focus my eyes on Katsuki as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I pulled him in closer and he met my seeking lips in a wild, sloppy kiss, wrapping his tongue with mine. My breasts jiggled from his deep, powerful strokes and I broke away to gasp out.

The tip of him was pressed so tightly against my cervix, striking the sensitive spots deep within me repeatedly. I felt that telltale itching warmth in my lower belly. I lifted my head to gaze into his bright vermillion colored eyes like he had ordered me to.

Katsuki grunted as he stared down into her eyes. Fuck, she was so beautiful with sweat glistening on her body, tears in her eyes from the intense pleasure. “Fuck, Private…” He could feel her inner muscles fluttering around him, trying to milk him of all that he had.

Bakugo cursed as he took hold of her legs and pushed them towards her chest, ankles by her head. He began thrusting in and out, satisfied with the new position that allowed him a deeper penetration. Leaning over her, he moved his hips, drilling into her at a fast hard pace as he felt his balls tighten up with the pending threat of release. “Princess…” he growled out.

“Fuck, Daddy, Oh, shit Katsuki…” I screamed out as he held down my legs by my ankles. The new position let him reach even deeper parts of me and I could feel my walls spasm around his cock. I opened my mouth and let out a soul shattering mewl as a rush of honeyed liquid left me and dripped down the sides of my legs to pool underneath me. I placed my hands against his tattooed chest, my whole body trembling. “K-Katsuki…”

“Keep moaning my name, baby.” He kept thrusting for a few more strokes until he locked his hips in place. His warm seed flooded her tight cunt as he left out a deep groan. He fell against her, his forehead touching hers. Katsuki pressed gentle kisses to her lips as he slowly eased out.

He then wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her against his chest. “Sleep, Dumbass. I’ll wake you at 0200 so you can leave in time for formation.” He knew that he had to have her back before 0400 or Jirou would have his head for having someone from her platoon late.

I looked up at him, cuddling against him for warmth as he pulled the blankets over us. I smiled when he stroked his fingers along the side of my cheek and down my neck.

He was being unusually tender and I enjoyed it. This was a side of Katsuki that only I would get to see and I felt a sense of happiness fill my heart. 

“And to retaliate, you’re mine too, Suki.”

Omg... Active fate blog...

Alright alright, can I request archer Gilgamesh and Lancer cu chulainn falling in love with the same master, and how they would compete for her attention?

Oh, The best doggo of Ireland and Gil you say?

Why of course!

Contents: Cu Chulainn (Lancer) x f!reader + Gilgamesh (Archer) x f!reader (Not seperate)

Reader is female. (as per request)

CWs: Slight mention of Alcohol for Gil.

So, Shall we get cooking?

Gilgamesh and Cu Chulainn competing for your love

Their rivalry for you wasn't anything they tried to hide. Let's say that much. Let's start with Gilgamesh. He would shower you with gifts. "The only woman worthy of My time, let alone love, among the world of mongrels deserves full access to my Treasury." That said, He expects full obeidence. If You take him to a Singularity with you, no matter how small, He insists on taking charge. Other servants see it as his ego. You know he just cares. Gods forbid you get hurt before his eyes. Enuma Elish imminent - Survival chances: Slim. Yeah that's right, he'd be so petty about you getting hurt he'd nuke anyone into outer space just to prove you need his protection. If he happens to crash at your room to sleep, if he ever does, be sure to be surrounded only by the most exquisite and highest quality silks and sheets. If you're of drinking age, he'll probably offer some REALLY well aged wine or other beverage that contains alcohol. Whenever you for example hug him in public, he won't hesitate to return it. You are his most prized treasure, he lets the world see the King of Heroes cares, when he wants to. "This much affection, attention and care would surely be enough to convince You I am the only reasonable candidate for someone of your beauty, surely?" He'd think to himself. Little did he know. Little did he know... Cu Chulainn started to fall for you pretty early on, You're beautiful, have your heart in the right place and got your head screwed on straight. What more could a man ask for? He particularly is adamant about the beauty part, He saw many beautiful women in his time, and yet he insists you're the most beautiful one he's seen to date. (Medb was NOT happy.) He'd be a God Tier flirt. Not one time did he fail to make you blush only to laugh it off. But in a fight, he gets dead serious, His Lancer form is described as the fastest Heroic Spirit when it comes to pure combat speed. AND IT SHOWS. He Blitzes the enemy who dares even look at you wrong. Much like Gil with Ea, Cu Chulainn wouldn't be afraid to bust out Gae Bolg in all it's forms and techniques for your safety. You of course cover his biggest weakness - That being watching his back. He trusts you fully, knowing he doesn't have much in terms of luck as a Lancer, he still hopes you won't be a backstabber like a certain Priest he vaguely recalls. I see Cu as a type to gift you all 18 of his rune stones. "Use them when you're in trouble, and I am not around to save the day, Master." Reminder - They can block B+ rank Noble Phantasms. Teaches you basics to use them, of course. On top of all that, I think Cu Chulainn would also train you up a bit. Not because he sees something wrong, he just wants to feel safe about you being left alone, if no other servant is up to guard you. If he sleeps on the same bed as you, he cuddles up to you instinctively, and he's always perfect - Warm in winter, and a bit cooler in summer, though he does get flustered if you point out to him how adorable he looks when he sleeps. Cu adores PDA. He loves to initiate it and being surprised by it. And when you did start getting friendly with the blue Lancer, a certain King, did not take it lightly. They'd fight often. Not argue, fight, physically. Since there's no Kotomine Kireis to hold him back, He can fight Gil for much longer than expected. (Remember, in Fate/Stay Night he fought Gil for half a day straight, before losing) With you as his Master, he feels like he could go on forever. They do it outside of Chaldea, but their battle is not only heard but also visible from far, far away. One day they decide to instead simply ask You. "Who do choose as your lover, Master?" - Gil Inquired. The choice, however, is left to you, Young Master of Chaldea. --------- Hope you liked it, @diavolosbaby and I hope I did justice what you had in mind! Stay safe out there guys, it's crazy times we live in. - Rami (Obligatory, sorry had to) Who do you choose: zASsHU or RANSA GA SHINDA (Kono Hito de nashi!)

moonflower 🌜🌸

for sasusaku blank period week 2022

Summary: Sasuke and Sakura embark on a journey on the same road they took together twenty-five years ago. As memories are retraced with every step on the moonlit flower path, they find that regrets, what-ifs, and promises tend to lead to growth, healing, and compromises.

chapter 1 - moonlight (tsuki ga kirei, desu ne?)

Sarada ticks off boxes in the air as she ushers her parents to the gates of Konahagakure. “Are you sure you didn’t forget any of your storage scrolls, Mama?”

“I mentally ticked them off in my head already, dear,” Sakura assures her. “Besides, I’m not that old to be forgetting things.”

The hokage-in-training turns to her father and hands him his scroll. “Hmm, but this one is.”

“You’re so harsh on me, peanut.” He gets the scroll from her and sticks it in the side pocket of his wife’s rucksack. He also takes the time to adjust the length of the sleeves, and she pats his wrist, a small gesture of thanks, once he’s done. “No sleepovers in the family house until we come back.”

“I wish you would stop with the nickname. I’m already 25.” The exasperation escapes in her unbridled sigh. “And of course, no sleepovers, I have missions you know. I’m a captain, and basically the next in line to the hokage position. I don’t have time for romance.”

“Yes and we are very proud of you.” Sasuke waves behind her. “Good morning, Mitsuki. Glad of you to see us off.”

“Have a safe journey.” Mitsuki hands his mentor two bento boxes. “Something to eat while you’re on your way.”

“You know the drill,” Sasuke says pointedly to his daughter’s white-haired friend. “Take care of our peanut.”

“Papa!” The blushing Sarada plays off the nonchalance and rolls her eyes in noncommittal fashion. “Go now or you won’t reach the next town by nightfall.”

“We’re very acquainted with the forest though,” Sakura reminds her.

Sarada places two hands on her ears and mouths, I don’t want to hear about it.

It takes one last family hug before the couple proceeds to their milestone journey.

“How many years did you say it was?” Mitsuki asks his former teammate.

“Twenty-five years.” Sarada takes out a map and shows him the path the three of them traced during that one family dinner which spurned the idea of traveling again. “This was the path they took.”

“And they’re going to every stop?”

“As much as possible, yes.”

“Even the one where you were conceived?” Mitsuki smiles at her, safe in the knowledge that she will never hit him.

But the daggers look she inherited from Sasuke is enough alone to ask for her forgiveness back into the village.

------------------------------

Sasuke has his hair tied in a low bun today. The season when summer transitions into fall is the most inopportune time for the weather to be humid and balmy. He sneaks behind Sakura who stops in his behalf as he braids her long rosy locks. She offers him the water canister in turn, and he dips his head to take a sip.

The silent exchange continues, but it’s a comfortable kind of companion for a weary journey ahead of them. The agreement was at most two years unlike the drawn out path they first took. And unlike that time when each step was a careful tread, today was a leisurely pace attuned to the other’s step.

They are barely halfway through to the first town when his wife laughs out of the blue.

“Care to share the joke?” Sasuke asks.

She stares at him with crinkled eyes. “You were so tense during the first few kilometers back then.”

“Ah,” Sasuke clucks. “Didn’t actually foresee the scrawny, little girl to outpace me. I thought you wanted to take your time.”

“Hmm but arriving at a bustling town was the best excuse to not converse.”

“So you did have trouble talking to me?”

Sakura scoffs. “Let’s be honest, you cannot even hold a conversation. Well save for that one drunk Team 7 dinner when you basically confessed to me.”

“I told you you were beautiful,” Sasuke’s hand finds hers and fingers intertwined in instinct or more possibly, in familiarity of routine. “And that was good enough for you?”

Sakura shrugs and lays her head on his shoulder - the perfect height to do exactly just that. After a few minutes of walking, she disengages himself from Sasuke save for his hand. “That was so uncomfortable to do while walking.”

And while he enjoys it, he can only nod in agreement.

🌜🌸

Should I tell her to ease up? Sasuke quickened his pace and managed to fall only a step away from Sakura. “You’ll run out of chakra by the time we get to the next town.”

She halts so suddenly that he almost bumped into her, and she looks at him with the most perplexed expression. “I don’t really run out of chakra.”

Sasuke seeks an out, but her steady evergreen eyes arrest him in his ignorance and embarrassment. “Ah of course.” Of course, she has the most superb chakra control. Way to go belittling her.

“That’s fine,” she dismisses him with a smile.

They continue like this - her a few arm’s breadths away and him a few steps behind, never together or on the same pace, as if they are both running from something invisible, and slowing down meant having to confront it.

Or perhaps the silence is too deafening. They haven’t really stayed together alone for an extended period of time. Yes, he stayed in her apartment for a week, but she had shifts on the times he was in, and he had to resort to waiting in the hospital to invite her for dinner.

There was always a buffer - Naruto, Kakashi, or Sai, her medical scrolls, her anonymized patient charts, his case details. They never had to enjoy a moment to themselves, a moment of silence between the two of them.

And to think he isn’t one to shy away from the lack of conversation.

By the time they arrived at the next town, they were informed the inns were full. He asked her if she wanted to hurry, but sensing the slight discord earlier, she relented for a more leisurely pace.

“We’ve always had to sleep in the forest anyway,” she reminds him of their genin days and their missions, and it feels like a whiplash.

He remembers the kid so vividly, so full of hate and anger, misplaced and misconstrued even among the budding circle of what he would call as his constants - people who stayed by his side nonetheless.

And one of them is Sakura. His constant who pulls out a food pill to pop into her mouth.

He catches her wrist and shakes his head. “We’re not on a mission.” He sounded more dismissive than what he intended, but she passes it off as his usual demeanor.

“I’m just kinda hungry,” she looks away when she says this, and he gets a hint that she’s embarrassed to admit it until he realizes she thinks they’re not going to eat.

“Wait here.” He leaves her in the middle of the clearing without further explanation, and he methodically prepares for the night - firewood, forest fruits, fresh meat, and some herbs. He comes back to their sleeping bags arranged on opposite ends of the clearing, and Sakura poring over a medical scroll.

He prepares dinner, and she tries to help (but she comes out like a nuisance, rather unfortunately). Someday he might have to teach her how to cook.

And it catches him offguard how often he makes plans with her in consideration. It’s not a bad thing at all, right?

“Thanks for the dinner. It was great.” The compliment gets lost in his myriad of overthinking, and he swallows down the rising fluster by turning his gaze upward. The crackle of the bonfire, positioned right in between the large expanse of their bags, fills in the gaps of the tension-filled silence that accompanied them since they stepped out of the village gates.

He could go to his side and feign sleeping while she could go back to her scrolls and project her anxiety onto them, but he starts to climb the trunk of a tree on his feet, a rudimentary task he had trouble doing before when they were genin, glancing at her for invitation.

Ever the Sakura, she quickly picks up on it, the only one in their team who quickly succeeded in this.

The branches rise way above the canopy, and they settle on the small, tethering space, with Sasuke only a meter away from her, his gaze sweeping the area and finally landing on the bright orb on the horizon. He takes the chance to look at her, and there she is, fully enamored by the sight.

On the clear skies, the moon has taken residence.

“The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?” she asks him in pure, unmasked exhilaration.

His eyes stay on her. “It is.”

🌜🌸

They do not make it to the first town this time, but they settled on the forest floor just the same, with the sleeping bags laid beside each other, with no possible space in between. Sakura heats the prepackaged soup while Sasuke roasts the rabbit meat over the open fire.

“We should set up a tent,” he suggests. “Or we could use susanoo.”

“Whichever works, anata,” Sakura beams as she digs in into her bowl. “Your cooking is impeccable.”

“And my lessons have borne fruit with you,” he replies to which he earns an unamused smirk. “Thank you for the soup.”

Annoyed but smitten, Sakura eases into his space, and he gestures his ready shoulder for her to lean on.

“No clear skies tonight,” she observes. “Rain will probably come after midnight. It’s gonna be one uncomfortable night.”

“Just say you’re missing your queen-sized bed, tsuma.”

“Yes, that too.” She notices him looking up. “Something in the air?”

Sasuke shakes his head and snakes an arm around her waist to pull her closer to his side. “I just think the moon is beautiful tonight.”

Sakura raises a brow and follows his gaze upward. “Huh? But I don’t see it.”

“Well, I know it’s beautiful. Under the same sky, here beside you, the moon is always beautiful.”

[brave-symphonia]

I feel like Atlantis keeps getting better and better. Spoilers below.

You have the initial attack, followed by finding out more and more about the world and getting a good understanding of it.

And then the island you were on is completely obliterated with the people welcoming it.

And then you’re attacked by and defeat Caenis

Then Kirschtaria beats you without a Servant, he’s somehow just that powerful as a mage, leading you to wonder how you can beat him, Zeus, and any other defenses this lostbelt has.

Romani Achaman saves your life right before Kirschtaria can kill you. And it seems like he might not be Romani, but just using his body. Not to mention there seemed to be an implication that he has a connection with the Foreign God?

And recently, it seemed like Muramasa is in this lostbelt! Only for it to be revealed that he is working for the foreign god alongside Kirei.

Just, like, it feels like it just consistently gets better. I will not be surprised if this becomes my favorite lostbelt. And I’m not even that close to the main part of the 5th lostbelt, Olympus! I’m pretty sure I’m only halfway through!
